Laurillard (2012, p. 222) on teachers and tools. I agree with the sentiment, can't think of many examples from #highered

Indeed, Trump has publicly emphasized this point, declaring in interviews that docs were his personal property & that he had every right to take them. That makes 674 reasons to distinguish the 2 cases"

#Houston #ClimateChange Oppressive 100F heat for weeks, with the prospect of months to come, The garden relies on us and watering to stay alive. The #Texas electrical grid is reported under stress, I hate thinking about electrical failure and loss of AC, pondering why I failed to install a natural gas Generac System. Is it too late? At the time I was just thinking of Hurricanes. 🤔

I was just talking to a neighbor -- who's absolutely lovely, biblically nice guy -- and had to explain this fact.
